He was already in rant mode, after the busy X9 experience followed by me insisting we took the much hated by him streetdeck (agree - oh the painful engine noise on the dual carriageway bit of the A167!) from CLS, otherwise we'd have an almost half hour wait for our bus home.
We were on Arriva 1601, which seems to be by far the worst of that batch for rattles. He muttered all the way home about it and even held his hand on it, trying to shut it up. I consoled him that at least it doesn't have the dodgy main doors of 1595. They keep rattling open and setting the alarm off.
Reminds me of the Prestige's, often spent 40+ minutes journeys on the 7/7A with my hand on the windows trying to stop the windows shaking like mad on some examples especially when stationary.
I hate the alarm noise when the doors open/close on Pulsars, had 1461 on the 5A yesterday and the alarm noise sounded the whole time the doors were open. Probably why the 09 reg examples are some of my favourites as they don't have it.
